Wedoany.com Report-Oct. 28,During the first ten weeks of the 2025/26 season, which began on August 1, Canada exported 9.3 million tonnes of grains, pulses, and oilseeds, a 6% decline compared with the same period last year, according to Grain Online citing the Canadian Grain Commission (CGC).

Canola shipments fell sharply to 1,079,400 tonnes, down 58% year-on-year, while pea exports decreased to 762,000 tonnes, a 12% drop.

In contrast, several other commodities showed growth. Bread wheat exports rose to 4,756,500 tonnes, up 19% from a year earlier. Durum wheat shipments increased to 736,600 tonnes (+11%), barley exports jumped to 906,100 tonnes (+84%), and lentils reached 326,300 tonnes (+28%).

The export trends indicate a mixed performance across Canada’s crop sectors, with strong international demand supporting wheat, barley, and lentil exports, while canola and peas experienced reduced shipments.

Looking ahead, the USDA forecasts Canada’s full-season exports at 27.0 million tonnes of wheat, slightly below last season’s 29.281 million tonnes, 2.1 million tonnes of barley, unchanged from 2024/25, and 6.7 million tonnes of canola, down from 9.335 million tonnes previously.

Overall, the early-season data highlight Canada’s continued role as a major supplier of grains and pulses globally, though export volumes are influenced by market demand, crop availability, and seasonal factors.
